The highly respected and influential Detroit-based label Blank Code has successfully managed to comprise yet another phenomenal collection of quality techno. Making appearances on this various artist package, the new ‘M4 Compilation’ features music from label co-founder Anthony Jimenez, as well as Germany’s Brian Sanhaji, Mexico’s Luis Flores, Japan’s Takaaki Itoh, Spain’s Linear System and San Fran native Max Gardner.
Belief Defect, the live project of Moe Espinosa (Drumcell) and Luis Flores, had quite the live debut when they took over the impressive and revered main room of Berlin Atonal in 2017.
Not only was it their live debut, but the duo took the opportunity to also introduce Decadent Yet Depraved, their debut album on raster, to the world. Berlin Atonal was undoubtedly the perfect home for such occasion — arguably the most respected experimental music festival in the world, with up to seven stages open across five days within the impressive Kraftwerk building.
Los Angeles based producer and DJ AXKAN releases two robust techno tracks on OMEN Recordings with an EP entitled Torment that includes remixes from France’s UVB and Mexico’s Luis Flores.
AXKAN is certainly no stranger to the techno world with a reputation for devastating dancefloors as a performer whilst his stirring production style can be heard on labels such as Advanced (Black), Aerotek and Format. Following releases from Vlaysin, Ayarcana, Rendered and Draag he now debuts on his own label with ‘Torment’ including remixes from UVB and Luis Flores.
With his When Peace Descends EP Chicago techno producer, DJ, label owner and party curator Tunnel continues on his mission to create soundscapes that transcend the techno commonly found on dance floors world over. The package, which begins with four originals from Tunnel himself, takes listeners on a journey through the producer’s mind — a dark trip characterized by elements of ambient sounds, raw bass and techno that perfectly combine for a unique listening experience.
On top of four originals, the EP package contains five distinct remixes from Donor, Luis Flores, Axkan, NX1 and [wk]es.
Today, we are premiering two originals from Tunnel, “Peace” and “Finding Center” as well as Luis Flores’ remix of “When Peace Descends” and Donor’s remix of “Gratitude,” all of which you can stream via SoundCloud below.
